PREFACE. 



Many " popular M books have been written on 
the subject of sexual ills and their treatment, but 
none seem to be exactly what the people want; 
one is too full of moral and too scant of practical 
advice; another is too technical, and another gives 
all sorts of advice save the kind the book-buyer 
is looking for. The moral advice may be excellent 
but people do not buy medical books for it; so is 
technical advice, but people who want to treat 
themselves cannot understand it; so is the advice 
" go to a physician," but it is not what buyers of 
such books are looking for. This manual is in- 
tended to supply the missing practical book for 
sufferers from the many sexual and kindred ills; to 
give them plain, honest advice and the best treat- 
ment. The description of the diseases is neces- 
sarily limited to elementary points to be found 
in text-books, as anything more elaborate would 
be out of place in a work of this nature. The 
treatment is culled from the whole field of homoeo- 
pathic literature. A number of clinical cases 
have been introduced to give readers a general 
idea of the way the remedy is arrived at by 
physicians. 

There are a good many false ideas inculcated 
by advertising doctors in regard to ' ' lost man-

hood," etc., and if this book succeeds in putting 
any fearful young man, or boy, straight on that 
subject it will not have been written in vain. A 
proper understanding of this and other sexual ills 
by the public is necessary for their final eradica- 
tion. Finally, let us emphasize, if it is necessary 
to consult a physician do not go to those who ad- 
vertise, but to your family physician. 



PART I. 

TREATMENT. 



Sexual Ills and Diseases. 



MASTURBATION AND ITS BODILY 
AND MENTAL EFFECTS. 

Masturbation is not a disease, but an 
aet that if repeated too often leads to 
premature decay, imbecility or insanity. 
It is, as a rule, barring those inherited, 
the first sexual ill that afflicts humanity. 
The act, if we may judge by the books 
of Kraft-Ebling, Hammond and others, 
may be performed in a variety of ways, 
but the effect sought is the same — a 
pleasurable ejaculation of semen. It is 
always well for readers to understand 
terms used, and that can best be accom- 
plished by giving the roots of the word. 

" Masturbation " is derived from two 
Greek words, mantis ^ meaning, in English, 
u hand" and stupro, " I ravish." So, 
literally, it is ravishing or raping one's 
self with the hand or in some other un- 
natural manner. 

14 Spermatorrhoea " is from the root of 



io Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

spernia, to "sow," and rheo to "flow" or "I 
flow." Meaning, as now used, an invol- 
untary emission of the seminal fluid. 

Boys may discover how to masturbate, 
or it may be taught them by other boys, or, 
worse, by men, or even women. The act 
gives them a few moments of what seems 
to be extatic delight, and some of them 
resort to it as often as possible at first. 
They do not know that it is a sin against 
God, the human race and their own 
physical welfare, and are to be pitied 
rather than blamed. There are very few 
adults indeed who have not passed, 
to a greater or less extent, through this 
unholy fire, and fortunate are they who, 
by means of a plain, sensible book, or 
through the words of some friend, have 
been warned of the dangers, the final 
disgust and ruin that attend the practice. 
In too many families the subject of the 
sexual organs is regarded as a topic that 
must never be mentioned, and children 
are left in entire ignorance only to be en- 
lightened, too often," by bitter experience. 
If parents or guardians cannot, or will 
not, instruct the young, and warn them 



Masturbation. n 

of the dangers that beset thein from this 
source, at least let them procure a book 
that plainly treats of such matters and 
place it in the hands of the young at the 
proper time, for forewarned is forearmed. 
Should any young person read this book, 
let him know that if he persists in the 
habit of masturbation the result will be 
that he will gradually become weak, 
nervous and sallow, with a face full of 
pimples, sunken eyes, with dark rings 
about them; he will become bashful, 
timid and, in extreme cases, the end 
will be impotence, imbecility and death. 
Not many go to that extreme, but the 
actual number is not small. It is said 
that about three per cent, of the inmates 
of insane asylums were sent there directly 
by masturbation; the number there in- 
directly from that cause must be very 
large. 

Girls equally with boys are victims of 
the " secret vice/' and its effect on them 
is perhaps as bad as on the other sex. It 
is shown by nervousness, headache, in- 
difference to the pleasures sought by the 
healthy minded, unwholesome blotched

and pimply skin, dull eyes, melan- 
choly, and a look of decay. The habit 
in both sexes may bring on chorea, 
epilepsy, hysteria, palpitation of the heart, 
and convulsions. In fact, the train of ills 
that follow in the wake of this practice 
may well be called " Legion " — no one 
pen could name them all, but can only 
give a general outline of them, for each 
individual case will differ in some respect 
from others. 

After indulging in the pratice for a 
greater or lesser period of time the 
masturbator discovers, even without being 
told, that there is u something wrong" 
with him, and he instinctively knows the 
cause. It is at this point that the great 
majority break away and are saved, 
though not without much physical and 
mental tribulation. No man can overcome 
an evil in himself until he has seen it 
and acknowledged it to be an evil. But 
the secret, lustful, hot and sweaty 
imaginings with which he has filled his 
mind while practicing the habit will not 
away at his simple bidding, neither will 
the furious burning desire to commit the 



Masturbation. 1 3 

deed again and again. Both must be 
bitterly fought. The state of one passing 
through this ordeal has been so vividly 
described by Tissot that it has been said 
that his book brought many to despair. 
That is wrong, for what is wanted is the 
truth; and the truth is that no sufferer 
need despair, for all may be rescued from 
this unclean condition into which they 
have plunged themselves if they will to be 
saved. 

This is not a u mind cure," or " chris- 
tian-science," or " prayer cure" book, but 
those practices, though laughed at by 
many, when properly understood, are 
very needful and helpful in the cases 
under consideration. In nothing are they 
so needed and necessary as in over- 
coming masturbation and its attendant 
lust. Medicine is almost powerless until 
the mind can be brought into play, and 
even after that both it and the mind may 
find the lust too strong for them. If 
this be the case, and it often is, then who 
shall dare to say that a prayer to God for 
help avail naught? There is really no 
"cure'' for this condition save the Divine 



14 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

one, " Cease to do evil." At this point it 
is proper to state that there are cases 
in which masturbation is the result of 
disease. In such cases surgery or a thor- 
ough course of constitutional homoeo- 
pathic treatment is required ; but such 
cases do not come within the scope of 
this book Very young children also 
develop this habit, and no amount of 
punishment will avail to break it. Such 
cases, according to Dr. Burnett, in his in- 
teresting book, Delicate, Backward, Puny 
and Stujited Children, must not be regarded 
as evidence of inherent depravity, but as a 
disease that can, and should, be cured 
by constitutional homoeopathic medica- 
tion. He cites a number of illustrative 
cases in the book referred to. 

When the victim, or sinner (take your 
choice of terms), has at last opened his 
eyes, if not to the spiritual, at least to 
the physical, evil into which he is 
plunged, he has not only to fight the 
lustful imaginings, dreams and burnings 
of his mind and body, but he is also, in 
his search for help, confronted by those 
harpies, the advertising doctors and ven- 



Masturbation. 15 

ders of secret nostrums, who seek by 
every wile known to a wily tribe to get 
Him into their power. They even beg 
for only your "name," but do not send it. 
Their advertisements vividly picture the 
inferno that awaits the "young man or 
boy" who suffers from "lost manhood," 
and then glowingly depict the state of 
those " cured." And yet the least re- 
flection ought to convince any one, even 
a weak masturbator, that there is no 
"cure" for this condition save the one we 
have outlined, which to be sure may be 
aided by proper medical treatment, but it 
must first, and essentially, be a "mind 
cure," or mind-cleaning; a casting forth 
of lusts and imaginings, for so long as 
these are cherished no cure is possible. 
None of these advertising "doctors" can 
cure you, all they can do is to take your 
money. And if they get your name and 
not your money you will hear from them 
for years afterwards threatening, implor- 
ing or bullying you to submit to their 
" treatment." 

The attitude of the world towards the 
practice of masturbation is not a good 



i6 



Sexual Ills and Diseases. 



one, for with, perhaps, a large majority it 
is simply one of jest, too often of added 
obscenity ; yet it should be one of stern 
negation to the masturbator, of relentless 
hostility to those who seek to teach it to 
the young and innocent, but kind and 
helpful to those who are struggling to 
free themselves and regain a wholesome 
life. 

As already indicated, the first and the 
chief treatment of this condition — it can 
hardly be called a disease, save in a few 
cases, though it is a breeder of disease 
such as never microbe equalled — must be 
a mental one. It will not do to will to 
avoid the physical ill and yet at heart 
cherish the lustful imaginings. The 
first is easily done, for no one wants to be 
physically harmed, but to cast out the 
lustful imaginings will require a great 
effort of the will power, weakened as it is 
by the act of masturbation. It can and 
must be done, however, if the sufferer 
would regain health. 

One great aid to a cure is cleanliness. 
Wash the affected parts frequently and 
keep the whole body clean. Wear clean 



Mastu rba tion . 1 7 

clothes, keep the teeth and nails clean and 
the hair combed and neatly trimmed. 
This does not refer to the soiling of 
hands, or body, that results from honest 
work, or occupation, but the bodily filth 
and neglect that too often accompanies 
the filthy habit of masturbation. 

Sleep on a clean bed, with as light 
covering as is consistent with comfort, 
not too soft, and in a cool room. If pos- 
sible sleep alone. Live in the open air 
as much as possible. 

Take an interest in things, force your- 
self to do so if it does not come naturally, 
in social life, the church, politics, sports, 
the theatre, dancing, anything to take 
you away from the solitary habit into 
which most masturbators fall. 

Among medicines to repress the frantic 
sexual desire that ever and anon assails 
one who is trying to abandon the habit 
under consideration, the homoeopathic 
preparation of Cantharis is the best for 
males and Platina for females. When 
one feels the desire coming on, generally 
after going to bed, get up and take a dose 
of the remedy, walk about a bit and then 
go to bed again. 



x8 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

After the habit of masturbation has 
been definitely abandoned, the next stage 
that affrights the struggling victim is 
" spermatorrhoea, " as it is commonly 
termed. 



Spermatorrhoea. 19 



SPERMATORRHEA, SEMINAL EMIS- 
SIONS OR "WET DREAMS." 

" Spermatorrhoea," involuntary emis- 
sions, or u wet dreams" almost invariably 
follow the cessation of masturbating. 
The advertising doctors skillfully draw 
pictures of the " fearful condition " of one 
who is subject to these, and they frighten 
many a fat fee out of those who know no 
better — " ruined in mind and body," " lost 
manhood," and all the rest of the familiar 
rubbish. On this point read what one of 
the wisest physicians has to say (Raue's 
Special Pathology') : 

" Inasmuch as the seminal secretion of 
a healthy man may naturally be sup- 
posed to be a continuous one, it appears 
as a physiological necessity that there 
should occur from time to time an over- 
flow of semen involuntarily, when not 
irritated voluntarily by coition or mastur- 
bation. As long as such discharges hap- 
pen at night during sleep, with erotic 
dreams, accompanied by erections and 



20 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

voluptuous sensations, and followed by a 
sense of relief and buoyancy, those noc- 
turnal pollutions are certainly within the 
bounds of health. They do not occur 
regularly even in the same individual, 
but vary greatly in frequency from tem- 
porary causes or certain constitutional 
peculiarities. However, if they occur too 
often, say several times a week or oftener, 
and are followed next day by a general 
dullness and weakness, diminution of 
mental activity, etc., instead of buoyancy, 
they can scarcely be looked upon as 
healthy occurrences. This is still more 
so if they occur without erections and 
sensation in the night during sleep. But 
if they occur even in the daytime — 
" diurnal pollutions" — while the indi- 
vidual is awake, without the usual me- 
chanical causes (coition or masturbation), 
from any trifling external cause; for in- 
stance, from dallying with a female, rid- 
ing on horseback, during evacuation of 
the bowels or bladder, or from lascivious 
imaginations, then surely there exists an 
irritation and weakness in the sexual 
organs which is pathological, for a 



Spermatorrhoea. 21 

healthy man never loses semen involun- 
tarily when awake. Such diurnal seminal 
losses have also been termed spermator- 
rhoea, a rather hyperbolic expression, as 
a continuous flow of semen scarcely ever 
exists. And it should further be stated 
that very often inexperienced young men, 
frightened by reading miserable and de- 
signing trash upon this subject, take for 
spermatorrhoea what is no flow of semen 
at all, but a secretion from the mucous 
membrane of the urethra, and perhaps 
also from Cowper's glands, or a prostatic 
secretion, neither of which contain any 
trace of spermatozoa, the only sign of true 
semen." 

Helmuth's Surgery, page 1014, says on 
this subject: "It is a question whether 
certain emissions of semen without copu- 
lation are not necessary to the preserva- 
tion of vitality." This, of course, applies 
to " involuntary emissions." 

Hyde in his recently published Syphilis 
and Venereal Diseases, even goes to the 
length of maintaining that seminal emis- 
sions in the unmarried male is a purely 
physiological function and not a disease 
at all. He says : 



22 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

" Involuntary discharges of semen oc- 
curring in a young man several times 
during one night, or even on successive 
nights, are ' unnatural,' simply because 
the human male animal is not living in 
the state of nature briefly sketched above 
[the married state]. These losses are of 
similar import, whether occurring with 
erections and accompanied by a lascivious 
dream, or in total unconsciousness of 
sleep. They are truly physiological and 
amount to the price paid by the youth 
who is attempting to lead a correct life 
and who refuses to lower his moral stand- 
ard. The frequency of these discharges 
has little bearing upon any question of 
disease, since in perfectly sound youths 
seminal losses may be even often repeated 
without detriment to the general health. 
A frequency at one time is usually com- 
pensated for by a relative absence at an- 
other. The emissions may be followed 
on the succeeding day by a feeling of las- 
situde, slight frontal headache and mental 
dullness, but the balance is always struck 
by nature, as there is usually afforded a 
a respite from this sexual fever (if such 



. 



Spermatorrhoea. 23 

it may be called) , when the discharge or 
the series of successive discharges is at 
length for the time being made to cease. 
These losses wholly correspond in physio- 
logical function and meaning with the 
menstruation of the 3 r oung woman, whose 
monthly flux in a sense represents the 
price paid by her virginity, clean living 
and a delay of the performance of the 
sexual function until she is solicited in 
marriage by an acceptable suitor. It is 
true that after marriage menstruation 
may occur periodically, but, as a rule, it 
is suspended during pregnancy. Married 
men also, temperately indulging in sexual 
relations, occasionally have periodical in- 
voluntary seminal losses. " 

From the foregoing it will be seen that 
the emission of semen while asleep is 
simply nature's means for relief, and 
only hurtful when it occurs with ab- 
normal frequency and is accompanied by 
undoubted symptoms of physical ills, such 
as headache, weak back, unhealthy skin, 
etc. It naturally occurs more frequently 
in the case of young men than with those 
of more mature years, and should not 



24 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

be regarded as a disease. It may be stated 
here that excessive sexual intercourse will 
reduce a man to almost, or quite, the con- 
dition brought on by masturbation. 

For the "cure" of this condition some 
physicians have advised intercourse with 
harlots, and others, marriage. Unless 
one is very careful intercourse with har- 
lots is something like "out of the frying 
pan into the fire," for one is very apt to 
contract some disease from women, com- 
mon to all, that will but make matters 
worse. Marriage with a healthy woman 
is the one true relief, yet he who would 
marry a woman merely to use her as a 
cure for his ill must be a contemptible 
creature indeed. Marry by all means, but 
marry for love of the woman else you will 
find marriage a failure, a bad and dismal 
failure. 

Treatment of Seminal Emissions. 

For relief from the ill effects of ex- 
cessive seminal emissions Homoeopathy 
offers many excellent remedies. Among 
the marked symptoms of some of these 
are the following: 

Phosphoric acid is especially useful for 



Spermatorrhoea. 25 

youths who grow too fast and where 
debility is very marked ; after each emis- 
sion there is great weakness and lassi- 
tude; black streaks before the eyes; feels 
dizzy at times; legs weak. This remedy 
is undoubtedly the best one known where 
the cause is due solely to excessive mas- 
trubation or seminal emissions and the 
case is uncomplicated. 

Calcarea carb., in cases where there is 
much sweat ; sweating of genital organs ; 
great difficulty in obtaining erections, and 
relaxation are marked symptoms; also 
great lassitude, feels tired, weakness of 
legs; constipation; milky-colored urine; 
cough and headache; great prostration 
after coitus ; pressing pain in head, neck 
or back after pollutions. 

Aurum met., for those nearly reduced 
to despair, who have black, suicidal 
thoughts. 

Rana bufo, for one who seeks solitude to 
practice masturbation; imbecility and loss 
of decency; masturbation results in con- 
vulsions. Cases requiring this remedy, 
however, are generally too far gone to re- 
sort to self-treatment. 



26 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

Caladium, where "wet dreams" occur 
without lasciviousness or sexual excite- 
ment. Sudden relaxation of penis dur- 
ing coition, with no orgasm. 

Cantharis, insatiable desire, bloody dis- 
charge; inability to retain urine. Satyri- 
asis. 

Gelsemium, relaxation and debility; in- 
voluntary emissions without erections, or 
emission during stool; dragging pain in 
testicles and great languor, blue rings 
about the eyes. A good remedy, es- 
teemed by many to equal Phosphoric acid. 

Conium, senility; atrophied testicles; 
painful instead of pleasurable, emissions ; 
excessive frequency of emissions. 

Lycopodiurn, mental and bodily weak- 
ness, impotence, weak memory. Cold 
genital organs. It has been called the 
"old man's balm." 

Nux vomica, bad effects of masturba- 
tion; headache and backache; in connec- 
tion with abuse of liquor or coffee ; indi- 
gestion or gastric irritability. Emissions 
towards morning. Sleeplessness in the 
fore part of the night. 

Staphisagria is especially useful in 



A; 






Spermatorrhoea. 27 

cases of long standing; great taciturnity; 
deficiency of vital heat ; hair falls out or 
is split; eyes sunken and lustreless; 
emaciation and general uncleanliness ; 
lousiness. 

Graphites, flaccid penis, constipation 
and great debility of the generative 
organs. No ejaculation during coitus. 

Sulphur \s indicated by flushes of heat, 
headache on top of head with heat. Dis- 
agreeable odor from the body, aversion to 
bathing. No pleasure in anything, ir- 
ritable. Eruptions on the skin, dry scalp, 
hair dry and falls out. Eyelids red. 
Habitual constipation, ineffectual desire 
for stool, soreness or burning in rectum. 
Nocturnal enuresis. Fetid smegma. Tes- 
ticles relaxed, impotence. 

Pulsatilla has catarrhal inflammations 
and thick yellow or greenish discharges. 
A useful remedy in the ill effects of mas- 
turbation in females, especially when ac- 
companied by leucorrhoea; hysterical 
tendencies with sexual excitement. More 
especially indicated if patient be a blonde. 

Bellis perennis has been highly recom- 
mended for the general ills that attend the 



28 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

practice where the symptoms are not very 
clearly defined. The dose of this remedy 
is five drops of the mother tincture sev- 
eral times a day in a little water, or five 
one-drop mother tincture tablets. 

If any of the above-named remedies 
should be tried and fail, the patient should 
not be discouraged, but should select 
another and another, until he or she hits 
upon the right one, always remembering 
what has been said about leading a clean 
life and fighting off lascivious imaginings. 



Onanism or Conjugal Onanism. 29 



ONANISM OR CONJUGAL ONANISM. 

The following case reported by Dr. W. 
M. Turner needs no comments : 

li Mr. , aged forty, gentleman of 

leisure, large frame; presented himself 
to me in an emaciated condition — face 
pale and haggard, pulse unsteady and 
tremulous, form bent as though with the 
infirmity of years; an anxious yearning 
look in his eyes. Historj^ of the case 
was eminently unsatisfactory. After a 
week or so of unsuccessful treatment I 
found a clue. He accidently let drop the 
remark that he l didn't wish any 
more children? From this I suspected 
conjugal onanism on his part. He soon 
made a reluctant but full confession, con- 
firming my suspicions, ending by pitifully 
declaring that he was entirely impotent. 
With this new light I recommended full 
diet, natural coitus after total abstinence 
for two months and Phosphorus. He pro- 
gressed to recovery in six or eight weeks." 

Onanism, or " Conjugal Onanism/' 



30 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

consists in having connection with a 
woman in snch a manner as to prevent 
conception, and may be practiced in a 
variety of ways, bnt always with detriment 
to the health of both man and woman. 
In fact, as shown by the case quoted 
above, the physical effects may be even 
worse than those following masturbation. 
A well-known physician maintains that 
all coition should be full and complete 
and not indulged in oftener than once a 
week. "How many men," he asks, 
"of sixty years of age are capable 
of natural and satisfactory intercourse? 
Not one in twenty, and yet the power 
ought to be retained, and is in the cases of 
those who have been temperate in its use 
up to, and even beyond, the age of three 
score and ten. Indeed, it is rare to find a 
man of fifty who has so husbanded his 
powers as to admit of his having sexual 
intercourse once a fortnight, and then the 
act is neither satisfactory to him nor the 
recipient. But at times a more serious 
evil than the comparatively early decay 
of sexual power is observed as the conse- 
quence of excess, and this is the super- 






Onanism or Conjugal Onanism. 31 

vention of impotence either suddenly, after 
some extraordinary indulgence, or more 
gradually, in consequence of repeated ex- 
cesses," (Hammond.) 

In such cases the desire remains as 
strong as ever, but the man is impotent 
to gratify it. 

What was said of masturbation applies 
with equal force here. The practice can- 
not be continued and the parties to it re- 
main healthful. Many pages could be 
filled with cases where the man or the 
woman (like the one who consulted Dr. 
Turner) have suffered severely from a 
variety of ills and did not even suspect 
the cause. Some years ago a wise old 
doctor said that he cured many of his 
married patients by " prescribing concep- 
tion." That prescription will cure many, 
no doubt. 

For medical treatment, the same 
remedies that apply to the ills of sper- 
matorrhoea apply here. 

Cases, and there are such, where con- 
ception, for physical reasons in the wife, 
is impossible are beyond the province of 
this book. 



32 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

The term onanism is sometimes used 
as a synonym for masturbation, but this 
is a mistake, as it is properly employed to 
designate the act of coition so performed 
as to prevent conception. 



Nymphomania. 33 



NYMPHOMANIA. 

Nymphomania is an insatiable, and a 
seemingly irresistible, impulse in females 
for gratification of sexual desire. "It 
occurs," says Dunglison, "in those par- 
ticularly who possess a nervous tempera- 
ment and vivid imagination, especially if 
excited by improper language, masturba- 
tion, etc. Its course is described as 
follows: In the commencement the 
sufferer is a prey to perpetual contests 
between feelings of modesty and im- 
petuous desires. At an after period she 
abandons herself to the latter, seeking 
no longer to restrain them. In the last 
stage the obscenity is disgusting, and the 
mental alienation, for such it is, becomes 
complete." 

Fortunately the trouble, if treated 
homoeopathically, need not go to the last 
stage as describe by Dunglison. Platina 
will control most of such cases, especially 
where accompanied by much voluptuous 
itching, palpitation of the heart and con- 



34 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

stipation. Should this fail try Moschus 
or Cantharis. 

Where the disease has reached the 
stage, or takes the form, of indecently 
exposing the person Hyoscyamus is called 
for. 

Dr. Richard Koch relates the following 
case in which Cimicifuga proved curative: 
" Lady, aged twenty-three, had suffered 
for several months with acute mania of 
an hysterical character, accompanied with 
excessive nymphomania. She complain- 
ed of constant chilliness, with trem- 
ors, yet without desire for heat in the 
room or warm clothing; cold hands and 
feet ; incoherent talking ; restless nights ; 
constipated ; suppressed leucorrhoea ; 
pulse quiet, weak and frequent. Cimici- 
fuga 2 cured in a week." 

Dr. Hoyne says that nymphomania in 
sterile women frequently yields to Canna- 
bis sat. 

Coffea has also been employed with 
success. 

Erythroxylon coca in one drop doses 
has been clinically employed in nympho- 
mania with pronounced success. 



Satyriasis. 35 



SATYRIASIS. 

Abnormal sexual desire in men is 
termed " Satyriasis." In medical diction- 
aries it is defined as "an irresistible de- 
sire in men to have frequent connection 
with the female, accompanied with the 
power of doing so without exhaustion. 
The causes are commonly obscure. Some- 
times the abuse of aphrodisiacs has oc- 
casioned it. The principal symptoms 
are : Almost constant erection, irresisti- 
ble and almost insatiable desire for ven- 
ery, frequent nocturnal pollutions." 

Cantharis is, in general, the best rem- 
edy for the worst cases of this condition, 
though Moschas may also meet the trou- 
ble. '

IMPOTENCE. 

Impotence is complete, or temporary, 
loss of sexual power generally brought 
on Dy masturbation or excessive venery. 
A clean life, an out-door life, with good 
food, aid in a cure, as they do in all 
sexual ills. The following medicines 
have been found useful in restoring the 
health and lost power. Phosphorus. 
(For a case cured by this remedy see 
Onanism, p. 29.) 

Dr. Love relates the following case, in 
which Sulphur cured. " W., aged forty, 
merchant ; tall and slender ; melancholic 
temperament ; guilty of onanism (mas- 
turbation ?) in his youth. Has been mar- 
ried eight years, but could never accom- 
plish his marital duties, although erection 
is complete; but ejaculation takes place 
as soon as he approached his wife. Sul- 
phur 12, two doses, and in six weeks he 
was cured." Phosphoric acid has also 
been used with success in cases of this 
sort 



. 



Impotence. 37 

The following case by Dr. W. E. 
Rogers illustrates the use of Gelsemiiim. 
W., aged twenty-two. Billions tempera- 
ment. Has been masturbating for a 
number of years. Has been allopathic- 
ally treated. Symptoms : Genital organs 
relaxed ; entire absence of sexual feeling ; 
the organs seem paralyzed ; perfect im- 
potence ; during the evening a partial 
erection and slight discharge ; mind de- 
pressed ; engaged to be married ; has lost 
flesh ; appetite poor ; bowels costive ; 
looks sallow. Gelsemium tincture, two 
drops night and morning, caused an im- 
provement in a week, and cured in a few 
weeks." 

Impotence, resulting from excessive 
sexual intercourse, is best met with Lyco- 
podiiim 30 ; this is true of the impotence 
in men due to this cause, and to the dread 
of the sexual act in women from the same 
cause. When the medicine has brought 
back the lost power do not abuse it again, 
for a second attack of impotence might 
be lasting. It might be mentioned here 
that should Lycopodium after a few weeks 
fail to cure then try Nitric acid, but the

former remedy is nearly always success- 
ful, and especially so when aided by a 
clean, temperate mode of living. 

The kind of impotence for which Cu- 
prum acet. is useful, is illustrated in the 
following case by Dr. Kissel: " Strong 
fresh-colored man, aged twenty-eight; two 
years married; has never been able to 
effect coition, because the member im- 
mediately became flaccid again, though 
sometimes semen escaped. During the 
transient erections, he felt some tension 
in the perineum, and often complained of 
rheumatism in the back and legs. Gen- 
itals normal. After Cuprum acet., all was 
well and the pains disappeared." 

Agnus castus is a remedy that has been 
used with some success. It seems to be 
especially indicated where there is^a de- 
ficiency in the sexual instinct. Dr. Hol- 
combe relates the case of a woman who 
applied to him for something to renew 
her sexual desires which had become ex- 
tinct from too much indulgence, and in- 
tercourse abhorrent to her. Agnus castus 
1 three times a day wrought a wonder- 
ful change in her ; she regained her 



Al 



Impotence. 39 

lealth and became a strong and robnst 
•voman again. 

Calcarea carb. is the remedy for partial 
.mpotence, where the emission dnring 
:oition is too quick, followed by great 
Drostration and weakness. 

Before closing this part it may be well 
;o say a word against the use of "aphro- 
lisiacs;" z. e. } drugs employed to force the 
sexual desires , of which there are many 
in the market, generally secret prepara- 
:ions. The use of these is distinctly 
harmful, and even where they succeed in 
forcing the sexual desires the effect is but 
temporary, and the man or woman is left 
in a worse state than before, and will 
soon experience only the evil influences 
jf the drug and none of the pleasures 
desired. 

It should also be borne in mind that 
medicine is but an aid in such ills, and, 
as has been repeatedly reiterated, the 
patient must aid in the cure by right liv- 
ing ; and when cured must not expect to 
3e able to give way again to unbridled 
ust with impunity. 



40 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 



NERVOUS IMPOTENCE. 

In reality what is called "nervous im- 
potence" is not impotence but rather the 
temporary result of some mental emotion. 
It generally occurs with young men who 
have not, on the whole, carried masturba- 
tion to excess and have ceased the prac- 
tice ; who have then been a little fright- 
ened at the nightly emissions that fol- 
lowed and have sought the company of 
prostitutes, or willing women, in order 
that they might " restore lost manhood. " 
Excited by the novelty of the situation 
and by other emotions they find they are 
unable to perform the sexual act and then 
jump to the conclusion that "ruin in 
mind and body" is impending and become 
very gloomy and depressed. 

The mind plays a considerable, in fact, 
the chief part in this form of impotence. 
Men are oppressed by the fear of being 
laughed at; they recall what other men 
of their acquaintance have boasted of 
their powers, and compare those boasts 



^ 






Nervous Impote?ice. 41 

with their own untried, or little tried 
ability, forgetting the psalmist's assertion 
that all men are liars, and, it may be 
added, especially so concerning things 
sexual. They fear to marry, and in fact 
go through a very dreary time of it 
when, in most cases, the whole trouble 
is simply a lack of confidence in their 
own powers. 

Among medicines for this state the only 
one that might do any good is Anacar- 
diiim. 

There is another cause for impotence 
that is not generally recognized, but is a 
very prevalent one among married per- 
sons, and that is lack of love for the 
partner. At first this is not apparent, 
but as time goes by and one or the other 
of the married partners loses his or her 
love for the other, and this may be sup- 
plemented by dislike, the result is disgust 
and even impotence. There is, of course, 
no medical cure for this condition and it 
is only mentioned here as a warning for 
men not to marry unless they truly love 
the woman,

PHIMOSIS AND PARAPHIMOSIS. 

Phimosis is from the Greek, signifying 
" I bind tight." Phimosis is a disease or 
condition in which there is an unnatural 
constriction of the edge of the prepuce, 
or foreskin, in front of the orifice of the 
urethra, so that it cannot be carried be- 
hind the corona glandis. Berjeau says of 
this disease, that it " is caused by the in- 
filtration of fluid into the cellular tissue 
of the prepuce, forming a large, long, 
dark, reddish-brown, bulbous swelling at 
the extremity of the penis, its borders 
being enlarged, cracked and so narrow 
that but a small portion of the secreted 
pus can make its escape and rendering 
the retraction of the prepuce behind the 
glaus impossible, the remainder collect- 
ing underneath, forming a fluctuating 
swelling. Persons with a long and narrow 
prepuce are the most subject to it, and 
balanorrhoea is always present." Balanor- 
rhoea is a purulent secretion under the 
glans penis. 



" 



Phimosis and Paraphimosis. 43 

Phimosis may be the cause of many 
nervous disorders, from sleeplessness to 
nervous jactitations, and even locomotor 
ataxia. In severe cases surgery is neces- 
sary to complete relief. Surgical treat- 
ment is especially necessary when gan- 
grene sets in. 

The medicines most useful are Merc, 
cor., Rhus tox. and Cannabis sat. Merc, 
cor. where there are cracks and fissures 
on inner surface of foreskin; Rhus tox, 
when there is itching and inflammation, 
and Cannabis where swelling is dark-red 
and hot. 

Paraphimosis is the opposite of Phi- 
mosis. In it the prepuce, or foreskin, is 
retracted behind the glans and cannot 
be replaced. Where it binds tightly there 
is swelling of the head of the penis, 
purple colored and even gangrenous color. 
As it is not so much a disease as a dis- 
placement of parts the treatment must be 
mechanical or surgical. 

The only medicine that has ever seemed 
to have helped in such cases is Colocynth.

BALANITIS. 

This disease, or condition, is an inflam- 
mation of the glans penis. There may be 
a slight inflammation behind the corona 
of the glans and an accumulation or 
slight flow of yellowish, nasty, mucus- 
like discharge. As a rule, this is the 
result of uncleanliness, and soap and 
warm water is the best cure, but some- 
times medicines are needed. Among 
these Nitric acid is useful when there is 
itching and burning of the foreskin and 
vesicles, which may scab. Pulsatilla is 
useful when, in spite of cleanliness, this 
yellowish secretion constantly forms 
under the skin of penis. 

When there are cauliflower growths, 
condylomata, warty excrescences or any 
growth of this nature present Thuja is 
the remedy. 



Gonorrhoea. 45 



GONORRHOEA. 

This disease begins to be apparent to 
the sufferer in about four or five days after 
he has contracted it, though in some cases 
it may manifest itself earlier, or consider- 
ably later; but about four days is the 
average. A slight tickling, itching or 
burning sensation is first noticed at the 
meatus urinarius; at that point there is 
also, a slight sticky discharge. Evidences 
of the disease now rapidly accumulate ; 
the rather transparent, sticky discharge 
becomes more profuse and thick, and 
turns to yellowish, or greenish-yellow 
color, and may contain blood and becomes 
of a purulent nature. The urethra is very 
sore and tender to the touch. The pass- 
ing of water is very painful and fre- 
quent — burning and smarting. Erections 
are exceedingly painful. With increas- 
ing inflammation the urethra becomes 
contracted and the stream of urine, when 
passing, may become divided. 

The disease runs its course in about 
six weeks or it may become chronic. 



46 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

The too prevalent idea among men that 
this disease is "no worse than a bad cold" 
is a very erroneons one; many physicians 
of experience contend that a man never 
thoroughly gets rid of this virulent poison. 
Those who have contracted it, got rid of 
the discharge and attending discomfort, 
think they are " cured," and the many 
ills they may suffer afterwards are not in 
a remote degree in their minds connected 
with the infection, while yet those ills 
may be due directly to that cause. If 
that be the case they can only be radically 
cured by proper homoeopathic treatment. 

The following from a medical journal 
will give the reader a true conception of 
the nature of gonorrhoea : 

"The time has arrived for the medical 
profession to speak in no uncertain tones 
upon the subject of gonorrhoea. For 
long the men of the world have been 
under the impression that specific ureth- 
ritis was a trivial disease; so much so 
that they were perfectly willing to trust 
themselves to the tender mercies of the 
bottle washing drug clerk, or any Tom, 
Dick or Harry whom they might meet 



Gonorrhoea. 47 

who would give them advice. By this 
means one of the most serious of venereal 
diseases has been very sadly neglected 
upon the part of its victims. 

"The direct inflammatory result of the 
gonococcus is bad enough in itself, but 
when we keep in mind the septic possi- 
bilities to the individual it is indeed 
formidable. The numerous cases of fatal 
inflammations of the bladder, the result- 
ing strictures, the interstitial enlargement 
of the prostate gland, the septic inflam- 
mation of joints, and the many other 
dangerous but definite diseases depend- 
ing directly upon gonorrhoea, should be 
impressed upon the laity. But in addi- 
tion the gonorrhoeal sufferer should be 
given to know that for many months after 
an attack of gonorrhoea he is more deadly 
dangerous to the helpless woman who 
may submit herself to his desires than if 
he had a pronounced case of syphilis. 
Physicians and surgeons will all admit 
that a very large percentage of the pus 
tubes, the pelvic abscesses, and the patho- 
logical conditions in general which neces- 
sitate laparotomies in women are in the 



48 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

majority of instances dne to infection 
from overlooked cases of gonorrhoea, or 
chronic gleet, etc Many an innocent, 
healthy and pnre woman wonld be more 
humanely treated if her husband or lover 
would put a oullet through her brain 
rather than shoot into her vaginal tract 
the unsuspected germ which wrecks her 
health, runs the risk of unsexing her, and 
eventually destroys her life. 

"With the facts before the profession, 
it is flagrantly negligent of its duty if it 
fails to educate the men of the world in 
the direction of knowing their duty. 
Many a married man, having in an un- 
guarded moment exposed himself to 
venereal infection, treats the resulting 
gonorrhoea in the usual careless and reck- 
less way, and without a knowledge of the 
risks involved when a chronic urethral 
irritation may be present, the overlooked 
discharge from which may contain the 
gonococcus, often fatally infects his wife. 
He does it ignorantly, for the average 
man is not so brutally disposed as to 
ignore his sacred duty in the direction of 
the protection of his home at least. 



^- 



Gonorrhoea. 49 

li Given, a case of gonorrhoea, the victim 
should be put to bed and urged to drink 
enormous quantities of hot water and 
given remedies which reach the inflamed 
mucous membrane of the urethra, and 
act from within outward. Injections 
should be given very sparingly and only 
by those competent to give them, on ac- 
count of the danger of driving the poison 
deeper into the urethra and doing more 
harm than good. 

" There have been laws passed prohibit- 
ing the reckless sale of poisons on the part 
of druggists. Should there not be a law 
passed restraining them from rushing in 
as fools where angels fear to tread and as- 
suming the responsibility of the manage- 
ment of one of the most dangerous and 
serious diseases that may afflict those 
who devote their time to the shrine of 
Venus ?" 

If the patient wishes to make the best 
recovery he must abstain from all alcoholic 
drinks, tea, coffee and tobacco; also from 
all violent exercise if his vocation will 
permit it. In other words, while under 
treatment the simpler the diet and the 



50 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

quieter the life the sooner will the disease 
be conquered. He should also avoid all 
sexual intercourse, not only for the sake 
of others, but for his own sake, until com- 
pletely restored to health. 

Treatment of Gonorrhoea. 

When it is known that in the larger 
text-books there are nearly sixty remedies 
mentioned for gonorrhoea it will be seen 
how useless it would be in a small manual 
of this nature to mention all of them. 
The following homoeopathic remedies, 
however, may not be amiss, or too nu- 
merous to be confusing: 

Helmuth (Surgery, p. 210,) says of this 
disease : u When the inflammatory stage 
has begun, the most reliable medicine in 
the Materia Medica is Aconite, It must 
be given in the first and second dilutions, 
frequently. This medicine does not allay 
the discharge, which often increases dur- 
ing its exhibition, but it subdues the in- 
flammatory symptoms and gives the 
patient rest." 

One of the most frequently used reme- 
dies in the treatment of this disease is 
Cannabis sativa. It is, in general, called 



Gonorrhoea. 51 

for when the prepuce is swollen and dark 
red;ehordee; priapism; urethra feels drawn 
up. Patient must walk with legs apart, 
urine seems to tear the urethra; burning 
before and after urinating. While this 
remedy is much used there are many 
physicians who do not hesitate to say 
that they have had no success with it. 

Apis meL is a remedy highly com- 
mended by Dr. J. G. Gilchrist, in his 
work on surgery, who, for many years, 
has given it in all cases "at the suitable 
stage," and has " rarely failed to secure 
the desired results." The symptoms call- 
ing for it are scanty urination, puffy 
swelling, a biting-stinging pain, with thin 
purulent discharge. 

Belladonnas indicated in females where 
there is a white discharge. 

Bryonia is adapted to females where 
the discharge, which had previously much 
decreased, again increases and grows worse. 

When the discharge in females is cor- 
roding, the remedy is Arsenicum. 

The disease in fat lymphatic women is 
best met with Calcarea curb. 

In both men and women when the dis- 



52 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

charge is unusually offensive Carbo veg. 
may be used with success, in addition to 
other remedies. 

In those of a scrofulous nature Hepa?' 
sulph. is useful for its constitutional effects 
in connection with other remedies. 

Nux vomica should be the first remedy 
taken by all who have been previously 
treated unsuccessfully Allopathically, to 
be followed by other remedies in a few 
days as they may be indicated. It is also 
useful after discharge has ceased, but 
there remains inflammation and discom- 
fort in the urethra and towards the 
bladder. 

Pulsatilla is the remedy for gonorrhoea 
in the female where discharge is thick, 
milky and rather painless. 

Sepia is recommended by Jahr to pre- 
vent the disease from gaining a foothold ; 
a dose morning and evening at the first 
sign of a slight redness at the orifice of 
the urethra with slight agglutinous secre- 
tion will, he contends, prevent the dis- 
ease from progressing any further. In 
which case it would be well to take the 
remedy even before these premonitory 



— 



^ 



Gonorrhoea. 53 

signs appear when there is reason to 
suspect infection. 

An occasional intercurrent dose of Sul- 
phur is useful in all fully developed cases 
of the disease, and especially so in cases 
where the men have a constant desire to 
urinate and women are tormented with 
a violent burning itching. Also when 
other remedies do no good. 

Cases in which Agaricus is useful are 
illustrated by the following by Dr. Hoyne : 
"S., aged forty-five, has had frequent at- 
tacks of gonorrhoea usually cured (?) by 
injections of sulphate of zinc. This time 
he says it has not proved effective. Has 
difficult emissions of urine, the stream 
passing very feebly or in drops ; frequent 
erections; cramp-like drawing in the 
groin.' 5 Agaricus 6, three times a day, 
cured in a week. 

Where the last few drops of urine are 
retained and there is cutting pain through 
to the anus Argentum nit. is indicated. 
Also in chordee, enlargement of testicles 
and cutting pain in testes and cord. 

In acute cases, where inflammation in- 
volves the bladder and there is great diffi- 



54 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

culty in urinating-, the passing of water 
causing intense pain, Cantharis is indi- 
cated. 

In females, where the discharge is 
bloody and has an intensely foul smell, 
Kreosotum is the remedy. 

The quickest way to suppress the dis- 
ease is by means of injections of various 
kinds, but anyone who has due regard for 
his future health will avoid this treatment. 
The suppression of discharges from the 
body, of any sort, those outward evi- 
dences of an internal disease, is always 
more or less dangerous. Homoeopathic 
literature contains many illustrations of 
this point — of physicians treating obscure 
cases of disease with no success until by 
close questioning the fact was disclosed 
that at some past period the patient had 
been " cured" of gonorrhoea or some 
other discharge, eruption or skin disease 
by means of injections or external appli- 
cations; in such instances the Homoeo- 
pathic physician by means of internal 
remedies brings back the suppressed flow 
or eruption and at once the other ills 
depart; then the disease is properly cured 



Gonorrhoea. 55 

by internal medication and the patient 
discharged a well man once more. 

External applications designed to sup- 
press sores, skin diseases, gonorrhoea or 
any external manifestation are like plug- 
ging up a drainage tube and calling the 
operation a cure. 

It must be added here, however, that 
many experienced physicians strongly 
advocate the injection treatment, main- 
taining that there is no use in permitting 
the discharge to continue when a few in- 
jections easily stop it and the patient is 
no worse for the treatment. On this 
point it may be well to quote from a paper 
by Dr. T. S. Hoyne, read before the Inter- 
national Homoeopathic Association : 

" Mister X., a young man much given 
to dissipation, called me in the middle of 
the night. I found him suffering greatly 
from intestinal colic. He had used, dur- 
ing two or three hours, for its relief, 
brandy and ginger, a pain-killer of some 
sort, and hot water bags. Nux vom. re- 
lieved him in the course of thirty minutes. 
Three or four days later he had another 
attack, and the Nux again relieved him. 



56 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

A few days later there was still another 
attack, and again Nux relieved. I then 
asked him to come to my office the next 
day as I wished to find out, if possible, 
the cause of these attacks 

u He called, and I obtained the follow- 
ing history : Several times each month 
he went on a spree with the boys, and al- 
ways became intoxicated. During one of 
these sprees he contracted gonorrhoea, 
but he was ' all over it now.' His gonor- 
rhoea was treated solely by injections, 
which dried it up in a very few days. In 
fact, he greatly praised the doctor for the 
rapidity of his cure. Being satisfied that 
the colic had some connection with the 
suppressed gonorrhoea, I gave him Med- 
orrhinum im, and asked him to report in 
a week. He did so, and then complained 
greatly because the gonorrhoea had re. 
turned. A few doses of Medor. im cured 
the gonorrhoea, and the colic never re- 
turned. Two years have elapsed, and, 
although the young man has not greatly 
altered his habits, he is now satisfied that 
colic and gonnorrhoea are sometimes in- 
timately associated. 



Gonorrhoea. 57 

u Mr. W., a gentleman just passed fifty, 
'who had kept a mistress for a year during 
the absence of his family in Europe, com- 
plained of an itching spot upon the fore- 
skin a week after having had sexual in- 
tercourse with his wife. During the year 
he had had no trouble with his sexual 
rgans, but as soon as the wife returns 
trouble begins. The wife had been very 
sick during the voyage home, and had 
not eaten a good meal during the entire 
ten days. She was consequently anaemic 
and an acrid leucorrhoea had made its ap- 
pearance. 

11 Supposing the affection of the hus- 
band to be simply a slight irritation of 
the skin, nothing much was done for it. 
But it grew worse, and remedies pre- 
scribed had little effect. He went on this 
■ray for a month or more, the irritation — 
not ulceration — of the skin continuing. 
Meantime, upon my advice, he occupied 
a separate bed and left his wife severely 
alone. She soon recovered from the effects 
of the att ack of mal-de-mer and became well 
and strong. One day, after a report that 
he was no better, I said, in desperation : 

5 



58 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

( Are you sure you have not had an attack 
of gonorrhoea the past year?' He an- 
swered, ' I hardly know. I had a slight 
burning in the penis for a day or two 
with a slight discharge of mucus, and a 
physician of the regular school gave me 
an injection of olive oil with sulphate of 
zinc or nitrate of silver, I don't know 
which. This stopped the burning, and I 
never thought of it since.' Medor. im 
was given, and in a short time the worst 
case of gonorrhoea I ever had to deal with 
made its appearance. The discharge be- 
came bloody, almost amounting to a 
hemorrhage. It was very profuse all the 
time, sometimes thick and greenish, at 
others thick and yellowish. Nitric acid 
controlled the tendency to hemorrhage. 
Merc. sol. helped when the discharge was 
greenish, but did not stop it. Sepia aided 
when the discharge was yellowish, but 
did not stop it. Capsicum greatly relieved 
when the discharge was whitish and ac- 
companied by great pain. Agnus castus 
finally cured the patient after both he 
and the doctor had become completely 
discouraged. Never before nor since have 



Gonorrhoea. 59 

I had such, a long and tedious case, ex- 
tending over a year, to treat." 

There are many physicians who place 
great reliance in the treatment of gonor- 
rhoea by the "tissue, or biochemic reme- 
dies." 

This treatment has the merit of simpli- 
city. As soon as infection is suspected 
take Kali mur. four or five times a day. 
If this does not arrest the disease and 
inflammation and swelling set in alternate 
the Kali mur, with Ferrum phos. , a remedy 
that undoubtedly possesses great power 
over all inflammatory conditions. Should 
the discharge become greenish or of a 
yellow color, then drop the Kali mur. 
and in its place take Natncm sulph. This 
simple treatment, it is claimed, will cure 
nearly all cases that are uncomplicated. 
Von Grauvogel, Director General of the 
Bavarian army, placed great reliance on 
Natrum sulph. in the treatment of gonor- 
rhoea, and he had a great many cases to 
treat. These remedies are best taken in 
the form of tablets or triturations — two 
tablets, or as much of the powder as 



I 



60 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

would lie on a silver ten cent piece, being 
a dose. 

The " tissue remedies" are prepared in 
the same manner as other homoeopathic 
remedies, and a number of them, such as 
Silicea, Natrum mur., etc., are Hahne- 
mannian remedies. It is most likely, 
that the only difference between the 
tissue and the homoeopathic remedies is 
simply in theory. Practically, the tissue 
remedy acts homceopathically when it is 
curative. 



Gleet. 6 1 



GLEET AND OTHER ILLS FOLLOWING 
GONORRHOEA. 

Gonorrhoea may become chronic, when 
it is known as gleet, or may involve many 
other parts of the body. The scope of 
this book does not take in all these ills. 
As many of them are constitutional 
maladies involved with the gonorrhoea, 
the following remedies will be found 
useful, as indicated, by those who at some 
time in their life have contracted that 
disease. 

In cases where there is pain in the 
testicles and back, constipation and de- 
bility of sexual organs, Lycopodium will 
be useful. 

Phosphoric acid, where the disease also 
involves seminal emissions. 

Where there is a chronic discharge un- 
attended with pain when urinating, Sepia 
may prove curative. 

Aching in testicles, Nat. mur.; also in 
cases of gleet and leucorrhcea where in- 
jections of nitrate of silver have been 
employed. 



l 



62 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

Where there is no sexual desire, no 
erection, yellow discharge, Agnus castus. 

After mercurial treatment, Nitric acid. 

Gleet with warts or fleshy excrescences, 
Thuja. 

Hydrastis is useful when, after all the 
painful symptoms have abated, the dis- 
charge continues profuse. 

Stringy discharge, Kali bichromicum. 

Chordee is the designation of that form 
of the disease (gonorrhoea), when from 
violent inflammation the penis assumes 
a curved form, nearly always downward. 
Some authorities advise the application 
of cold water, and others to gently bend 
the member in the direction of its con- 
cavity. Internally, Aconite may prove 
useful. 

Stricture means, the urethral canal is 
temporarily narrowed and urine cannot 
be passed. Aconite or Cantharis are 
probably the best remedies. A hot bath 
may relieve. It may even be necessary 
to use a catheter if the stricture lasts too 
long, in order to relieve the bladder. 

Gonorrhoeal rheumatism is often

is hot and dry Aconite is indicated; if 
following suppressed gonorrhoea — sup- 
pressed by injections — Pulsatilla; from 
exposure to cold and wet, Rhus tox. One 
of the most important remedies in true 
gonorrhoeal rheumatism is Tkuja^ the 
pain is worse in afternoon and evening, 
and better from w r armth. 

Gonorrhoeal opthalmia is a very serious 
complication, and if possible should be 
promptly intrusted to the treatment of a 
homoeopathic physician, as, to quote 
Berjeau: "This extremely severe disease 
requires the promptest attention, disor- 
ganization and bursting of the eye not 
unfrequently taking place within even 
twenty-four hours from its first invasion." 
The utmost care should be employed to 
prevent any of the gonorrhoeal discharge 
from coming in contact with the eye in 
any way; be especially careful about the 
towels, handkerchiefs and rags used, so 
that they will not come in contact with 
the eye or other parts of the body. The 
smallest quantity of the virus may set up 
a terrible train of ills in the eyes. The 
sooner one so affected applies to a phy-

sician the better, but if this be impossible 
Aconite, Nitric acid and Sulphur alter- 
nately are the best remedies to be taken 
internally. Should the discharge sud- 
denly cease yet the inflammation continue 
Jahr recommends Pulsatilla. 






Syphilis, 65 



SYPHILIS— POX. 

Syphilis is an infections disease com- 
municable by coition, or by contact of the 
virus with the thin skin. It makes its 
appearance first as a chancre, or sore, on 
the penis ; this small, red spot is inflamed 
and the centre rises rapidly and a cor- 
rosive fluid is exuded. This sore, or 
chancre, may be superficial or it may be- 
come phagedenic by bad treatment, and 
the virus of the disease spread, unless 
arrested, to almost any part of the body, 
slowly eating away, or rotting away the 
parts which it attacks. Buboes, or "blue 
balls," is a frequent accompaniment of 
the disease, an abscess in the groin or 
under the arm pit. 

Syphilis is a fearful disease when it per- 
vades the whole system and may require 
years for its extirpation, if indeed it ever 
be cured. So many forms may it assume 
in various parts of the body that no at- 
tempt will be made to describe them here. 
In general the disease has three stages, 



j 



66 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

the primary, which includes incubation 
and development of the sore or chancre ; 
the secondary, which involves the glands 
and mucous membranes, and the tertiary, 
which does not develop for a year or two 
after infection and which, as said before, 
may assume many forms and involve 
any part of the body, even to the bones. 

But on this point we had better quote 
Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases, which is 
a truer guide than modern text-books : 
"The chancre," writes Hahnemann, 
" generally appears between the seventh 
and fourteenth day after the infection has 
taken place; it rarely appears either 
sooner or later, and generally affects the 
parts which have been first tainted with 
the virus. The chancre first appears in 
the form of a little vesicle, which is soon 
changed to a painfully stinging ulcer, 
with an elevated border. This ulcer may 
remain upon the same spot during the life 
time of the patient, and, although it may 
become enarged,yelt the secondary symp- 
toms of syphilis will not make their ap- 
pearance as long as the chancre remains." 

"The allopathic physician, not know- 



Syphilis. 67 

ing that the entire organism has become 
infected with the syphilitic miasm, even 
before the appearance of the chancre and 
immediately after the impnre coition has 
been accomplished, looks npon the chancre 
as a simply local nicer which onght to be 
removed by the external application of 
desiccating and canterizing substances, 
and which will remain quite harmless, 
provided it is not left too long upon the 
skin; for, in this case, the absorbing 
vessels might carry the poison into the 
internal organism, and, in this way, pro- 
duce a general syphilitic affection, whereas 
these evil consequences might be avoided 
by a speedy removal of the chancre. This 
is both the doctrine and the practice." 

And it may be added here that the 
doctrine and practice is quite as much be- 
lieved in and practiced to-day as when 
Hahnemann wrote the above words; if 
anything, the practice is more prevalent 
since men call that fearful poison u bacil- 
lus." But let Hahnemann continue: 

" By this practice the physician de- 
prives the internal disease of its vicarious 
symptom, the chancre; and, by the re- 



68 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

moval of the chancre, he forces the dis- 
ease to embody itself externally in the 
more troublesome and speedily suppurat- 
ing bubo. And after this has been re- 
moved, as is foolishly done by external 
treatment, the disease is forced to mani- 
fest itself throughout the organism with 
all the secondary symptoms of a fully de- 
veloped syphilis." And thus so far from 
relieving the patient the physician has 
injured him by this mode of treatment. 
Thus we see that the real cause of the 
second and third stages of the disease is 
external treatment. 

Further on, in the same work, Hahne- 
mann says : u In my practice of fifty years' 
duration I have never seen syphilis 
breaking out in the system whenever the 
chancre was cured by internal remedies." 

Treatment of Syphilis. 

As regards the medical treatment, it 
may be said here that Hahnemann 
claimed Mercury to be the specific remedy, 
and experience seems to prove that he 
was right and that the several preparations 
of that drug are as near to being specifics 



Treatment of Syphilis. 69 

in this disease as may be hoped for in medi- 
cine. When one has reason to suspect 
the disease, or the chancre has already 
developed, Mercurius is the remedy. Dr. 
Schneider says that in over eight hun- 
dred cases all were cured by Mercurius 
sol. 

The following case, by Dr. Walze, illus- 
trates the use of some of the homoeo- 
pathic mercurial preparations and also 
the danger of suppressing syphilis by 
external applications: " Patient, aged 
forty-six, contracted syphilis about eight 
months ago, a small ulcer on the glans 
bearing all the signs of a true chancre. 
Ulcer was touched with caustic, and lint 
soaked in a solution of corrosive subli- 
mate was applied to it. In seven or eight 
days a dirty brown cicatrix was formed 
and he was pronounced cured. Four 
weeks had elapsed when the throat began 
to be painful on swallowing. Patient 
thought he had taken cold; increased 
secretion of saliva, peculiar taste in the 
mouth ; small round ulcers appeared on 
the palate, tonsils and glans. The syphi- 
litic specialist ordered gargles and decoc- 



jo Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

tions of sarsaparilla ; still the throat grew 
rapidly worse in spite of the treatment. 
I found tonsils much swollen; arch of 
the fauces swollen; both were affected 
with roundish ulcers, the size of half a 
nail, whose lardaceous, cream-like surface 
was somewhat depressed; uvula thick- 
ened and elongated; gums spongy and 
bleeding easily; color of hard palate, soft 
palate and uvula is a dirty reddish brown ; 
swallowing painful; great collection of 
saliva; taste metallic. Patient took, for 
a few weeks, Merc, sol., 2d and 3d tritura- 
tions, morning and evening. The chan- 
cres, which returned at the glaus, towards 
the end of the third week, I left un- 
touched, they healed within from six to 
eight days, reappeared after a while in 
order to leave again equally fast. Most 
stubbornly, up to the tenth week, the 
puffiness of palatine arches and swelling 
of tonsils continued, likewise their red- 
dish-brown color, in consequence of which 
swallowing was difficult. Under Merc, 
prczcip. rub., 2d trit., there appeared, in 
eight or ten days, a normal color and 
formation of the different parts of the 
throat, and complete health. '* 



Treatment of Syphilis. 71 

Mercurius cor. seems to be especially 
adapted to meet cases of a more maliguant 
nature, as when the head or neck swells, 
ears discharge pus, nose swollen, gums 
swollen and bleeding, and ulcers in the 
mouth or tonsils, etc. 

Arsenicum is called for in syphilis when 
the discharge from the ulcers is of a very 
corroding nature. 

Hepar sulphur may be useful when the 
skin is scurfy and the hair falls out. 

After Mercurius one of the most im- 
portant remedies for the disease is Nitric 
arid, which is generally called for in ad- 
vanced cases of an especially bad nature. 
The readers of this book may obtain a 
better idea of its uses from a few clinical 
cases than from its symtomatology. Dr. 
Guernsey had a case, discharged as in- 
curable by a large hospital. There was 
sloughing of the entire integument of the 
penis, and fistulous ulcer that had eaten 
its way into the urethra. He dressed the 
diseased parts externally with olive oil 
and gave Nitric acid, in a rather high 
potency, internally, and cured the case. 
Dr. Edmundson relates a case that had 



72 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

contracted the disease four years previ- 
ously. At time of treatment had ulcer- 
ated sore throat, ulcers near the root of 
the tongue, tonsils nearly sloughed off, 
foul odor from mouth and great pain on 
taking any food. Nitric acid 6. cured the 
case. Another case of six months' dura- 
tion, in which mercury (allopathic prepa- 
ration) and injection had been used un- 
successfully, and in which the end of 
the prepuce was in fissures, was cured 
with same remedy. 

Phosphorus is indicated when there is 
great debility, and the bones have become 
involved (caries, necrosis). 

Sour eructations, nausea, milky-looking 
urine, and falling of hair from genitals 
in this disease are indications for Phos- 
phoric acid. 

Sulphur may be useful when there are 
copper colored spots on face and body, 
eruptions on the scalp, mucus in the eyes, 
eruption around the chin or itching 
eruptions on the body. The remedy is 
especially useful in children who have 
inherited a syphilitic taint from their 
parents, and for the eruptions that come 



Treatment of Syphilis. 73 

out on those who once had the disease. 
Should the remedy cause the eruptions 
to come out freer do not try to suppress 
them, for this is a favorable sign. In 
such cases cease taking the remedy for a 
time, and the eruptions will gradually 
pass away and the case in all probabilit} 7 
be cured. 

Aurum is called for in this disease 
when at a late stage the patient is de- 
spondent, memory bad, sight and hearing 
seemingly affected and pains in the head; 
bony tumors on the head; ozaena; bones 
in nose decay ; nose eaten away ; warts on 
the tongue. 

Baryta carb. is useful when there is 
swelling of the testicles, tremor of feet, 
vertigo, irresolution, sensibility to cold, 
palpitation and debility. 

Kreosotum when scalp is very painful, 
hair comes out plentifully, burning dur- 
ing the passing of urine. 

Lachesis when gangrene is threatened 
in any part. Or when the whites of the 
eyes turn yellow, tip of nose red and 
scabs form in the nose; throat dry and 
parched. 



74 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

Thuja for fig-warts, or cauliflower-like 
excrescences, that may accompany this or 
other venereal diseases. Take the remedy 
internally in the 30th potency, and not 
too frequently, a dose every other day, 
and inside of a month a cure may be 
looked for. The tincture of Thuja may 
be used externally if desired, and was so 
recommended by Hahnemann. Aside from 
this Thuja is indicated in syphilis when 
there is a fetid discharge from the ear, or 
ears, eruption on the nose, blotches on the 
face and sore lips or corners of the mouth, 
all with general depression. Thuja is 
also a good remedy for syphilitic head- 
ache. A headache as though the bones 
would break.

SUNDRY HINTS. 

The following hints may be found use- 
ful by some of our readers. Some of the 
remedies are unproved, but have been 
found to be very efficient when clinically 
used. It may be thought that some of 
the ills covered bv these hints are not 
sexual; this is, in a measure, true, but 
many, or all, of them may be the result 
of the conditions caused by sexual dis- 
orders, which conditions often drive men 
and women to drink or cause the dis- 
orders covered by the following hints : 

Inveterate drinkers and smokers, sub- 
ject to fluttering pulse and heart, can 
scarcely breathe, puffiness of face, and 
about eyes, will find relief from Apocynum 
caitnabmtim, twenty drops in a little 
water. The remedy acts best in the de- 
coction, 

Nervous debility, palpitation of the 
heart due to masturbation, or profuse 
nocturnal emissions, are very successfully 
controlled by Avena satzva, five drops in 
a glass of water three times a day. 



76 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

To overcome morphine habit take five 
drops of Avena sativa in a wine glass full 
of hot water as often as the craving comes 
on. 

For bad syphilitic conditions, ulcers, 
etc^Jacaranda Gualandaz^vt drops of the 
tincture in water twice a day. A remedy 
much used in South America. 

Worst cases of delerium tremens and 
opium, morphine or chloral habit, ten 
drops of Passiflora inc. three times a 
day. 

For enlarged prostate, difficult urina- 
tion, inability to pass water without the 
use of catheter (especially in old men), 
take five drops of tincture of Sabal serru- 
lata twice a day, or five tincture tablets of 
same remedy twice a day. 

To increase the activity of sexual or- 
gans in men, debilitated by excess, or the 
result of inherent weakness, take Sabal 
serrulata tablets, five a dose, twice a day; 
or five drops of the mother tincture. 

For pain in the kidneys, that region 
painful on pressure, backache, dark col- 
ored urine, full of sediment, gravel and 
sand, catheter required often to pass it,

Solidago virga-atirea. #, five drops a dose, 
two or three times a day. 

All ills due directly to tobacco chewing 
find a remedy in Arsenicum. 

Carbuncles and malignant eruptions, or 
abscesses, Tarantula Cub. This remedy 
has also been used successfully in espe- 
cially malignant cases of syphilis ; malig- 
nant in its primary manifestations. 

Affections of liver, spleen and kidneys, 
varicose veins, due to excess of liquor, 
Carduus mar. 8 tablets. Five a dose. 

To prevent the formation of gall-stones,

hania. 

Long-standing constipation of women, 
Tabacum 3. 

Fissured, bleeding, sore, finger tips, 
Petroleum 30. 



78 Sexual Ills and Diseases. 

For bleeding piles, Hamamelis 30, in- 
ternally, and Hamamelis suppositories, 
or ointment, externally ; for non-bleeding 
piles, or that bleed but little and feel like 
a chestnut burr, ^Esculus 30, internally, 
and ^Esculus ointment, or suppositories, 
externally. To prevent piles, wash the 
anus every day or after every evacuation. 

To lessen the intense craving for alco- 
holic drinks, ten drops of Spiritus glan- 
dium quercus three times a day. Burnett 
found this remedy would enable men who 
drank to excess to easily control their 
appetite and u drink like other people." 
Asarum 1 is also a remedy for the craving 
for liquor. It is said to prevent delirium 
tremens and enable inveterate drinkers 
to control their appetite for liquor. 

For mental and physical " break 
down," men cry like women, Kali pkos.

The following remedies will be found 
useful in that distressing symptom that 
accompanies sexual as well as other ills:

MATERIA MEDICA. 



PREFACE TO MATERIA MEDICA. 



Materia Medica is the knowledge of 
the action of drugs or medicines on the 
human body. It is the most important 
field in the study of medicine. There 
are two ways of ascertaining the action 
of drugs : one by experimenting on the 
sick and the other, of voluntarily taking 
the drug and noting its action. The 
latter is the homoeopathic method. Where 
the action of a drug has been thoroughly 
ascertained by this method the prac- 
titioner, when lie meets with a case pre- 
senting similar symptoms, administers 
the drug in small, potentized doses, and 
if his observations have been correct a 
cure will follow. The potentized drug, 
as the name indicates is powerful to cure; 
but if not indicated, u e. y if it is not the 
drug called for by the symptoms, it will 
do the patient no harm, which would not 
be the case were it taken in the crude 
material doses. The following Materia 



J

Medica is a condensed statement of the 
action, and of clinical results, of the various 
drugs named, on the sexual organs, and 
incidentally on the other parts of the 
body. Should the reader be unable to 
find a drug in the foregoing pages that 
seems to fit his or her case, let him study 
the following pages, and if any drug 
presents a picture similar to his case — 
that is the drug for him to take. 



Materia Medica. 



ACONITE.

is especially indicated in persons with 
tendency to haemorrhoids. Back and hips 
aching and painful; liver and portal 
system engorged; aching in pit of stom- 
ach to right lobe of liver. The remedy 
has won its chief renown in the treat- 
ment of piles, or haemorrhoids ; protrud- 
ing, purple piles, or " blind piles," that 
pain as though a chestnut burr, or small 
sticks, were in the rectum. For such 
cases it is best to take the remedy in- 
ternally in the form of medicated pellets, 
and externally apply it in the form of 
suppositories for " blind piles," or of oint- 
ment if the piles protrude.

Thirst and irritability of the stomach are 
characteristics of the remedy; not even 
water can be retained on the stomach. It

SABAL SERRULATA. 

This remedy has but recently been in- 
troduced and partially proved. It has a 
most marked action on the prostate gland 
of men and the mammary glands of 
women. Men who are unable to void 
urine without resort to a catheter on ac- 
count of enlarged prostate have been 
either entirely cured or very much bene- 
fited by taking five or ten drops, of the 
tincture twice a day. Is also said to en- 
large the breasts of women. It is also 
much commended by some physicians to 
restore lost, or lessened, ability in men 
to perform the sexual act; this applying 
to those who are otherwise normal and 
whose lost power is not the result of vene- 
real disease. 



SOLIDAGO VIRGO-AUREA. 

This old, but unproved remedy is men- 
tioned by many writers, among whom we 



Staph isrgria . 129 

may name Dr. Gallavardin {Homoeopathic 
Treatment of Alcoholism, p. 131), who 
records the fact that the first dilution of 
the remedy was administered three times a 
day, to seven cases, ranging from forty- 
two to seventy-four years of age, who 
" had been obliged to catheterize them- 
selves for weeks, months and years, and 
cured them so thoroughly that they had 
no relapses." The indications especially 
calling for the remedy are, pain in the 
kidneys ; difficult and scanty urination ; 
urine dark with dark brown sediment. 

Ancient writers highly commend this 
remedy "to provoke urine in abundance, 
whereby the gravel or stone " may be 
dispelled.

edy that can be used occasionally in con- 
nection with other remedies as an inter- 
current in many diseases. The Sulphur 
patient is apt to be dirty, averse to wash- 
ing ; has burning of the soles or palms; 
coarse, rough skin; drinks more than he 
eats; stoops; has flushes of heat; sleeps in 
cat-naps, and is generally worse at night,

complaints, where the pain is of a tear- 
ing nature, and in all pains of a rheumatic 
nature. Rheumatic deafness. Ills of 
women at climacteric period, when men-
